Global Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem

Business dynamic, research and innovation, and investments in AI are increasingly being influenced by the development of interactions among all stakeholders (“multiple helix” approach). More actors are involved in AI knowledge creation and the innovation process. Universities and research institutions collaborate with business enterprises, hospitals, local municipalities, public services providers and citizen organisations.

At the same time, the research, innovation and business process is changing with the transition towards open science, open innovation and open education, and rapid increase of funding in AI, as well as the computational capacity. The focus is increasingly on developing, testing and rolling out a large number of solutions for the benefit of citizens and local jobs. This shows the way for new hot-spots of AI knowledge and co-creation globally.

The challenge is to map the landscape across countries and understand what is out there in-the-wild.
